Early the next morning, at dawn, there were staff coming in and out of the main building of the hotel.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the two contestants of the celebrity title battle arrived at the hotel.
Haneda Hideyoshi walked into the hotel lobby, handed his luggage to the staff, looked around, walked out of the shooting range of the TV station camera, and spoke to the person in charge of the organizer, "Mr. Iwamatsu, may I ask about the investor Umbrella...
"
"Sorry, Mr. Konggu, I'm late."
From the corridor leading to the garden behind, calm voices came.
Haneda Hideyoshi immediately recognized that it was Chi Feichi's voice. He turned around and saw Chi Feichi talking to a middle-aged man in kimono. He turned back to the person in charge of the organizer and smiled, "It's okay. I
I heard that Mr. Chi would come, so I wanted to say hello to him."
In fact, he received Mr. Chi's email yesterday and knew that Mr. Chi had arrived at Shihe Hotel. He wanted to tell Mr. Chi his battle ideas...
"Mr. Haneda, we need to check your luggage," the organizer's staff found Haneda Hideyoshi and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, do you need to hand over your electronic devices to us for safekeeping now and check them with you?"
"
"Ah, wait a moment..."
Haneda Hideyoshi turned around and looked around, and found that the producer of the TV station was talking to Chi Feichi again. Realizing that Chi Feichi would not have free time for the time being, he took out his mobile phone and quickly edited the email, "Please wait a moment."
I’ll give it a minute…”
[Celebrities are very strong opponents. In the first game, I need to test his chess playing habits and ideas, so if you want to see that tactic, you may need to wait. - Haneda Hideyoshi]
"She didn't sleep very well last night," Chi Feichi said while talking to another investor's representative couple. He felt his phone vibrating and took out his phone, "so I asked her to stay in the room to rest."
The middle-aged woman is slightly chubby, has a round face, and kind facial features. She asked gently, "Is she feeling unwell? Do you want me to go check on her later?"
"Thank you for your concern, but no, she just wants to rest a little longer."
After Chi Feichi finished speaking to the middle-aged woman, he lowered his eyes to read the content of the email and quickly typed a reply.
[Just follow your battle ideas, focus on winning, don’t think about anything else, I wish you success in winning the championship. - Chi Feichi]
At the front desk of the lobby, Haneda Hideyoshi looked through his mailbox and found that the email he sent to Miyamoto Yumi still had not received a reply. He sighed with regret and replied to the email sent to him by Masumi Sera, and quickly cheered up again.
Come, look at the email Chi Feichi replied to yourself, a smile appeared on his face, and he did not reply to the email again. He locked the phone screen and handed it to the front desk staff. He smiled at the staff and said, "Keep you waiting."
Already."
Next to him, the current celebrity talked to his wife and son at home. After talking on the phone, he smiled broadly when he hung up the phone. He also put his mobile phone at the front desk and said to the staff in a gentle tone, "I'm fine here..."
"Now, both chess players have handed over their mobile phones to the front desk," the TV reporter motioned to the cameraman to focus the camera on the two men and explained on the side, "Because now you can easily search for chess records on the Internet using mobile phones, so during the game
During the process, the two chess players will not be allowed to carry any electronic devices. They will hand over their electronic devices to the staff for safekeeping. In addition, the staff will conduct a simple check on their luggage. In order to protect the privacy of the two chess players, we
We need to keep a little distance from there for the time being..."
Not far away from Haneda Hideyoshi and the current celebrity, their suitcases were placed on the counter. The two staff did not go through their luggage. They just used detection instruments to move above the suitcases to ensure that their luggage
No electronic equipment is included.
After checking the suitcases, the two staff members used detection equipment in front of and behind the two chess players to check whether there were any electronic devices on them.
After all inspections were completed, the staff took the two chess players to the hotel's reserved room to check in.
The person in charge of the organizer took the opportunity to announce the official start time of the game. He took the supervisors sent by the Shogi Association, the commentators prepared for the game, investor representatives, and TV reporters to the main venue of the game. While walking, he looked at the camera lens.
Introduced below.
"The two rooms we have prepared for the two chess players are located on the far left and right side of the main building respectively. The Japanese room where the main competition venue is located is located in the middle of the main building. The rooms of the two chess players are located between the main venue and the main building.
The distance between them is exactly the same. I think this arrangement is like a chess board. Both sides occupy one side, but their pieces will eventually move in the direction of the other party..."
"In the corridor where the main competition venue is located, there is also a lounge we have prepared for the two chess players. During the game, the two chess players can go to the lounge to rest and have meals..."
When the team arrived at the main arena, staff from Japanese TV stations and staff from other newspapers set up photography equipment in the area.
Since the competition has not yet started and the two contestants have not yet entered the venue, the TV reporter started looking for other people to interview after introducing the competition venue.
Chi Feichi stood outside the camera range, lowered his head and used his mobile phone to send Ul messages to Koshizu Nanatsuki.
"Mr. Chi!"
The TV program producer came to Chi Feichi and reminded him in a low voice, "Our reporters are about to introduce investors. Please make preparations. Last night I reminded the host in charge of the interview and asked her to emphasize Ambre.
Pull, and then just ask a few questions..."
"I see."
Chi Feichi put away his phone, tidied his clothes, and got ready to show his face in front of the camera.
The winning prize for this celebrity title match was originally 10 million yen. After Umbrella participated in the sponsorship, the prize was increased to 25 million yen. Moreover, Umbrella also made some implicit suggestions to the Shogi Association.
Investment, and promised to sponsor other shogi competitions in the future, so that I got the qualification to enter and watch the investment competition.
Although this investment is not a big sum of money for Umbrella, when major newspapers reported that "celebrity title fight bonuses have increased significantly", they mentioned Umbrella in the report, which helped increase Umbrella's exposure.
From this point of view, Umbrella cannot lose money on this investment, but...
Of course he wouldn't mind if he could gain a little more.
The store that provided him and Koshizui with kimonos was a handmade kimono manufacturing store newly invested by Umbrella. This kimono store incorporated some modern elements into the kimono design. Several designers in the store have some outstanding and outstanding designs.
A unique work. His mother and Koshimi specially chose two kimonos for him this time. The one he wore today is a bit more conspicuous than the one he wore at the banquet last night. He can show off his face in the camera wearing this kimono.
Help that kimono shop with a dozen invisible ads.
"I believe many people have heard that the prize money for this year's Celebrity Title Battle has increased a lot, breaking the previous prize record. The reason is that there is an additional sponsor in this competition. This sponsor is a sponsor that many people have heard of.
Umbrella, before this, Umbrella has invested in many games..."
While introducing Umbrella, the female reporter quietly paid attention to the program producer's movements. When she saw the program producer gesture to her, she knew that Chi Feichi was already ready, so she shortened the current introduction content.
Quickly bring the topic to Chi Feichi, "Today, representatives of the two major sponsors have also arrived at the hotel where the competition is held. They will, like the supervisors of the Shogi Association, supervise the fairness of this celebrity title battle. Next
, I would like to introduce to you Umbrella’s representative, Mr. Chi Feichi, who is currently serving as a consultant at Umbrella. As far as I know, he is also the heir to the Umbrella president’s family, and he is also the one who advocated sponsoring the competition.
